Java bots...?

Anyone made any??

I'm trying to learn to use HttpClient, in apaches package, but can't seem to get the blasted thing to work



Has anyone else had any luck? For some reason I can't get HttpResponse to work (using the apache tutorial).

did you add the jars to buildpath?

I've worked with Apache libs in the past with Java(including the HttpClient class) if you need help feel free to PM me.

This one got me started with HTTP programming in java about 2 weeks ago
http://www.heatonresearch.com/book/http-programming-java.html
I read over it in some hours, and most of the content is code (often they print classes they showed before more often then once to fill the book) but it covers the basics and is a good start, so you know how to send and receive HTTP packages, download files, send GET and POST data and such, and if you want to go any further you would have enugh knowledge to know what to google for
If you google for the books name, you should easyly find a free download, at least, I did (but as it is already out there I am to lazy to reuploadon mediafire, I hope you don't mind)

I'm not entirely sure if this is what you're looking for, however most Java bots that my team has built in the last couple of months were built with the Java Robot library.

You can find out more about it by googling for "Java Robot".

Java is a very powerful language you can do so many things with it.
You can connect so many things with java.
But you have to do that perfectly.
